the Art And science of home theAter. We believe engineering is a

creative endeavor. And a lifelong calling. It is the daily pursuit of perfection.

A constant battle against the constraints of materials, physics, often time itself.

For what our engineers are looking to achieve is phenomenal – in the pursuit

of purer sound, clearer images, they’re trying to mimic the most perfectly

engineered components of all: the human senses. Are we getting any closer?

Spend some time with the �006 Pioneer Elite® line. Experience high definition.

With the HD signal pure across audio and video, see what is possible. Plasmas

that display Blu-ray Disc® images at full resolution, or receivers and speakers that

work in tandem to treat you to pristine sound. Components designed to work

together seamlessly – get ready for home theater like you’ve never experienced

before. Then tell us if you think we’re getting closer. We think we are. Welcome.

Cinephiles, audiophiles, technophiles, rejoice.

A thousand words are not enough.

Solitary confinement. Pioneer

plasma displays are made of

millions of tiny phosphor-filled

cells and effectively isolating them

from each other is the way to a

more accurate picture. The Deep

Encased Cell Structure of a

PureVision display is what sets

our cells apart so there’s no light

leakage, only stunning images.

More contrast, please. Our

Crystal Emissive Layer – a thin

layer of magnesium – is inserted

between the plasma glass and

individual light cells, leading to

increased contrast and blacker

blacks. It allows cells to be

charged and discharged three

times faster, for greater light

emission and a brighter image.

Even easier to appreciate in

the light. Brighten up the room

and the Elite PureVision shines.

Pioneer’s First-Surface PRO

Color Filter is a layer of film that

replaces the exterior plasma

glass panel, which gives

accurate and vibrant color

reproduction. You’ll see it

working right before your eyes.

Say hello to the leading edge of plasma technology.

1080p is the highest resolution available today and

to offer it in a 50-inch monitor, Pioneer engineers

performed an incredible feat. Through their tireless

dedication to technology development, they

doubled the number of pixels in the panel to over

two million, creating astounding image quality.

It’s an achievement that remains unmatched in

the industry. This new panel has the ability to

up-convert lower-resolution signals for improved

HD detail, color accuracy and fast-moving image

clarity. Now you know why you can’t look away.

sleek black finish that’s fit for a museum. Beauty

whAt you see is whAt you get

The Deep Encased Cell Structure of a Pioneer Elite

plasma isolates each plasma cell in its own four-

walled enclosure. Not only does the panel use new

and improved phosphors in each cell, this structure

ensures no light escapes into adjacent cells. The

resulting pure, concentrated beams create brighter,

truer images. To increase the contrast of these

images, a newly developed Crystal Emissive Layer

is inserted between the plasma glass and the cells.

This allows each cell to be charged and discharged

faster, for greater light emission. You’ll see blacker

blacks, but even so, lighter areas of the screen will

maintain their brightness. But we’re not done yet.

A Pioneer-exclusive Elite grade filter is then optically

bonded directly to the plasma glass. The First-

Surface Pro Color Filter minimizes the effects of

refracted and ambient light, providing vibrant color

reproduction even in a bright room.

Keeping signals pure. Pioneer’s

exclusive Pure Drive II technology

gives you the truest picture

possible. The drive keeps signals

entirely in the digital domain,

instead of switching between

analog and digital. This process

helps maintain all the depth and

detail of the original signal.

The many shades of gray.

Low-light situations can be

problematic for displays, as they

struggle to reproduce details

in dark images. Pioneer’s

Advanced Continuous Emission

IV Technology is able to

reproduce finer details in much

darker scenes.

See our true colors. Pioneer

has equipped each plasma

with improved red and blue

phosphors so you can enjoy an

increased color gamut and a

wider color space than ever

before. Intelligent Color auto-

detects scenes to adjust colors

to be more natural and accurate

for better color management.

built better inside out

Pure Drive II, a Pioneer exclusive, keeps video

signals entirely in the digital domain, never down-

converting them back and forth between analog

and digital. This process maintains the original

depth of the signal and contributes to finer

gradations, lower video noise and more natural

color reproduction. Picture quality gets a further

boost by the Advanced Continuous Emission IV

Technology integrated into Pure Drive II. It

enables Pioneer Elite® plasmas to accurately

reproduce an astounding 1,0�4 grayscale steps

for each color. Smoother gradations mean more

colors and finer details, even in low light. And you’ll

see Elite plasmas cleanly render fast-moving sport

images, action and video games without the digital

artifacts or motion problems of other flat displays.

All Elite plasma televisions come with the innovative

Home Media Gallery pre-installed. Connect your

plasma to an existing home network and it finds

greAt receivers Are built from the

ground uP. And with the Elite® line, the innovations

begin with advanced construction techniques and

extend deep into the technology that goes into

the heart of every receiver.

brute force

Every Elite receiver has a ‘Digital Core Engine’ for

the highest-quality digital audio. Sharc-EX® chips

and 4�-bit Freescale DSP Engines give Elite

receivers huge reserves of computing muscle. �4

bit D-A converters in every model further ensure

that the signal remains pure from input to output.

The Advanced Multi-Channel Acoustic Calibration

System with Standing Wave Control puts this power

to good use. It evaluates the acoustic characteristics

of a room, neutralizes the sound field of the listening

space, and automatically detects and calibrates

all connected speakers. With THX Select �,™ Dolby

Digital® EX, DTS® Extended Surround, and DTS

96/�4 decoding and advanced concert and cinema

modes, Elite receivers are well equipped and ready.

And it’s why they have the unqualified approval of

sound engineers at the legendary AIr Studios in

London.

mAke connections

HDMI inputs further enhance an Elite receiver’s

already formidable connectivity.

HDMI is an all-digital interface for high-quality audio

and video. A single cable replaces that familiar

tangle of wires and it’s all you need to move huge

amounts of data – like uncompressed HDTV signals

– at speeds of up to �GBps. And HDMI is plug-

and-play ready, so connecting components is a

snap. With a dedicated terminal, your receiver is

ready for your iPod® digital music player. Use the

included cable or the optional IDK-�0 iPod dock

(sold separately) to charge and control your iPod

through familiar onscreen menus. Even access to

XM-HDTM with Neural Sound is a snap with an XM

Connect-and-PlayTM antenna (subscription required

for service). And with Pioneer’s exclusive Sound

retriever technology, you’ll hear your music

through your system at near-CD quality.

designed to fit your life

With the Elite line, customization is the name of

the game. Add third-party Ir receivers and repeaters

and you have Multi-room Multi-Source capabilities.

Play a DVD in one room, a CD in another. Control

your components from anywhere in the house.

And there’s more – with the rS�3�C port and 1�V

triggers you can build an entire home automation

system around your receiver.

For more information, visit www.pioneerelectronics.com

No one ever complains about over-engineering.

Plug and Party

Your Elite receiver is ready to connect to a

wide variety of sources. And it’s powerful enough

to bring your music, movies and games to life.

Before you settle down to enjoy yourself, cross

home theater off your to-do list.

Teach an old VCR new tricks.

Advanced as they may be, your

Elite receivers are considerate

enough to get along with all your

existing components. Input video

signals – composite, S-Video or

component – and your receiver’s

Digital Video Converter outputs

them through HDMI to a

compatible monitor or panel.

All together now. If you’ve ever

felt the bass out of sync, you’re

right. It is. Due to the way receivers

process low frequencies, the bass

follows five milliseconds later. With

a new bass management system,

Pioneer’s Phase Control

technology compensates for

this phase lag, significantly

improving multi-channel sound.

Park your iPod. And your XM

radio. Thanks to a dedicated iPod

terminal, your iPod player and

Elite receiver will get along fine.

Your iPod even charges up while

connected. Add an XM Connect-

and-Play™ antenna for access to

your XM-HD with Neural Sound.

View menus for both onscreen

The incredible sound of The eX series has been over 30

years in The making. The notes you hear now were first struck

in 1975, when Pioneer’s Technical Audio Device department developed the

TAD Pro Audio monitoring drivers, soon to be acknowledged as the ‘best

of the best’ in the industry. Not soon after, the legacy technology of these

drivers led to the TAD-M1, a speaker system widely acclaimed for its clarity,

detail, range and dynamics. The EX series followed in 2005, using many of

the technologies of the groundbreaking TAD-M1 driver. Engineered with

superior materials and obsessive attention to detail, EX speakers

are designed to do their job exceedingly well. And their aim, above all,

is to remove the barriers between you and the performance.

Hear it like the artist meant it.

The Power of TAD. The EX

series is built around Pioneer’s

outstanding TAD tweeter

and bass drivers. Crafted to

exacting standards, these drivers

consistently reproduce true-to-

life audio for movies and music.

Along the way, they’ve earned

an enviable reputation for

performance across the globe.

Be there. As far as reproducing

sound is concerned, Beryllium

is the perfect combination of

lightness and stiffness. This

mix makes it ideal for tweeter

diaphragms, reproducing

sound that’s pure, crisp and

breathtaking. For the EX series,

it’s the metal of choice.

You’re the center of attention.

For the best listening experience,

it’s paramount that you hear all

sounds – direct and reflected – at

the same time. The EX series uses

TAD’s exclusive Coherent Source

Transducer driver technology to

precisely control sound direction

at all frequencies. The result is

extremely smooth sound.

we Put every resource At our disPosAl

in the Pursuit of Purer sound. From materials

and engineering to the exquisite craftsmanship,

EX speakers justify the effort put into them the

moment you hear the first note.

the heArt of the mAtter

Pioneer’s critically acclaimed TAD drivers are at

the core of the EX line. The tweeter diaphragm is

made with ultra-strong and light Beryllium for highly

efficient and solid performance. And unlike the

relatively small voice coils of regular bass drivers,

the EX series bass drivers are a massive 6�mm.

This allows greater power handling and outstanding

dynamics, even at maximum volume. Coupled with

industrial-strength Neodymium magnets, both

drivers achieve outstanding detail and clarity,

smooth response and fluent, coherent sound.

greAt sound is in the detAils

EX series tweeters, mid-range and bass drivers

are designed in such a way that they allow the

unrestricted flow of air behind the cone and the

voice coil. The Air-flow Designed Basket Frame

may sound like a simple idea, but it prevents sound

distortion, even at very high power levels. The

‘Precision Curve’ of the EX series is another inno-

vation. Traditionally, speaker systems have always

had drivers on a flat front baffle. This means

sound from each speaker reaches the listener

at different times, leading to a muddier overall

sound. By placing the speakers on a curve,

Pioneer ensures different frequencies reach the

listener’s ears at the same time.

find bAlAnce

Vertical standing waves are the bane of every

speaker enclosure. Generated inside tall, floor-

standing cabinets, they’re extremely difficult to

control and are responsible for weak, uneven bass

response. or at least they were. Pioneer developed

the Acoustic Balance Drive (ABD) to tackle them

head-on. Using this unique acoustic simulation

software, the port and bass drivers of the EX series

are placed in the best position possible to minimize

the influence of standing waves. The ABD

completely cancels the first wave and significantly

reduces the influence of the second one. The result

is full, solid bass, with minimal distortion.

Science. Technology. Engineering. In perfect harmony.

Moving at the speed of sound.

From speaker drivers to

cabinets, every element

of the EX series is precisely

engineered to deliver

superlative sound.

Every masterpiece deserves a

frame to match. After putting

so much effort into our speakers,

we could hardly stop at the

cabinets. Crafted from multiple

layers of laminated MDF, 30mm

to 100mm thick, EX cabinets are

designed to remain inert and

contribute to the exceptional

clarity and focus of the sound.

United for better sound. Unlike

conventional speaker cones,

the unique one-piece cone and

center cap construction of the

EX series bass drivers adds

rigidity and mechanical integrity.

This eliminates unwanted cone

resonances, improves accuracy

and significantly enhances your

reputation as a bass monster.

A symbol of pride. The EX

series was rigorously tested at

the world-renowned AIR Studios

in London. Founded by

legendary producer Sir George

Martin, the studio’s aural

expertise is unmatched. We are

happy to have been deemed

worthy of their strict studio

replay standards.

High-Definition Television (HDTV): HDTV refers to a complete product/system with the following minimum performance attributes: Receiver: Receives ATSC terrestrial digital transmissions and decodes all ATSCTable 3 video formats. – Display Scanning Format: Has active vertical scanning lines of 720 progressive (720p), 1,080 interlaced (1,080i) or higher. – Aspect Ratio: Capable of displaying a 16:9 image. – Audio: Receives and reproduces, and/or outputs Dolby Digital audio (Consumer Electronics Association, August 2000). Plasma Display Systems display images consisting of hundreds of thousands of minute pixels (light emitting cells), and there is a possibility that some pixels may be inactive, flashing or continually illuminated. Plasma Display Systems are made of glass; be sure to secure it from damage from impact. Plasma Display Systems, while in use, may generate some functional sounds, for example: fan motor noise, and electrical circuit humming/glass panel buzzing. All phosphor-based display systems (CRT Television Systems - both direct view and projection televisions - as well as plasma display systems) may experience image retention, also known as burn-in if permanant. Recommended guidelines are as follows: – Do not display still images for long periods (such as fixed images from PC or TV game equipment, and/or time of day indicator or channel logo display). – Do not display content in the 4:3 aspect ratio (black or gray bars on left and right side of content) or letter-box content (black bars above and below of content) for extended periods of time, or use either of these viewing modes repeatedly within a short period of time. This Plasma Display System is equipped with multiple wide-screen viewing modes; use one of these screen modes to fill the entire screen with content. – Displaying dark images after displaying still images for a period of time may cause image retention. In most cases, the image retention can be corrected by displaying bright images for a similar period of time. However, if your Plasma Display System displays still images for additional long periods of time, image retention may be irreparable. Plasma Display Systems may have a negative effect on sound or images coming from AM radios, PCs or video-related products. Plasma Display Systems emit slight amounts of IR (Infrared Emission) through luminous discharge technology. This IR is not harmful to living organisms, but may interfere with the operation of remote controls for other equipment, or cause static in equipment using IR (such as cordless headphones or cordless microphones). *The TV Guide On Screen interactive program guide provides listings for cable-ready, cable box and digital cable services as well as over-the-air broadcast. It does not provide listings for satellite.
